Services
Roofing
We specialize in residential and commercial roof installations tailored to Hawaii's tropical climate. Our services include asphalt shingle replacement, metal roofing solutions, and flat roof systems. Using materials from certified manufacturers like GAF and CertainTeed, we ensure durability against UV exposure, salt air, and heavy rainfall. Our team conducts thorough inspections to recommend the optimal roofing system based on location, budget, and structural requirements.
Painting
Our exterior painting services enhance curb appeal while protecting structures from Hawaii's harsh weather conditions. We use high-quality, UV-resistant paints and primers designed for tropical climates. The process includes surface preparation, color consultation, and application techniques that ensure long-lasting finishes. Ideal for homes, commercial buildings, and maintenance projects requiring weatherproof coatings.
Coating
Protective roof coatings extend the lifespan of flat and low-slope roofs by reflecting UV rays and preventing water damage. We apply elastomeric and silicone-based coatings that meet industry standards for durability. This cost-effective solution reduces energy costs and delays full replacements. Our team ensures proper surface preparation and adherence to manufacturer specifications for optimal performance.
Roof Maintenance
Regular maintenance services include inspections, debris removal, and repairs to prolong roof longevity. We address issues like leaks, damaged shingles, and drainage problems before they escalate. Annual check-ups are recommended for early detection of wear caused by sun exposure, wind, and humidity. Our maintenance plans help property owners avoid costly emergency repairs.
Exterior Maintenance
We provide comprehensive exterior maintenance for residential and commercial properties, including siding repairs, gutter cleaning, and trim restoration. Services focus on preserving structural integrity and aesthetics in Hawaii's climate. Our team uses weather-resistant materials and techniques to maintain functionality and visual appeal. Ideal for homeowners and businesses seeking long-term property care solutions.

Report
Kapili roofing is with you from start to finish. The best things about working with them are the attention to detail and scheduling skills. Everything done was on time. If extra work is required - such as replacing some rotten rafter extensions - they have the skills to prevent any delays and are fair with any increase in the cost of the job. So far as scheduling goes, Deja handles that and even has a great attitude. We give them a rating of 5+.

Report
The crew from Kapili Roofing were very courteous and very professional. They did a fabulous job on my roofing and I would highly recommend them to my friends and anyone who needed a suggestion on roofing companies. Brennan was super when he came over to see what needed to be done for the roofing and the cost proposal was very competitive. The women in the office were also extremely courteous and professional and they went above and beyond with regard to letting me know the steps that were going to occur and when they would occur. 5 stars all the way!
